Hardy Haworth Has Escaped Fire, Houses Geology, Mining, Anatomy
Although it is still middle-aged, Haworth hall has accomplished a string of achievements that probably would make most oldsters turn green with ivy.
Just now rounding-out its 38th year on the campus, Haworth can already look back upon a well-filled
It was built during an early boom period in the history of the University, 1908-09. That period, not so violent as the current one but nevertheless a record breaker in its time, saw, the enrollment at Kansas University soar beyond 2,000 for the first time. Haworth was one of the four buildings erected to handle this large number of students. Houseed Geology Department
Opened in the fall of 1909, the building became the home of the geology and mining departments and the state department of geology. It was named for the head of that department, Erasmus "Daddy" Haworth.
It didn't take long for the department to fill Haworth's halls and library with geological specimens, and in 1920 the second floor was unofficially tagged the "Hall of Invertebrate Fossils" after the non-living specimens contained therein, of
course. In 1941, the mineral display in Haworth was the largest in Kansas.
Escape Fire
Had the building been of a less hardy nature, a cigarette butt tossed carelessly from an upper window into an awning below might have been 'finl' for Haworth, in 1944. As it was, though, repairs amounted to only $20 and the old structure escaped with little more than a bad case of jitters.
The anatomy department had been a homeless group for two years, after their own building was completely destroyed by fire. Temporarily housed in Snow hall, the department quickly moved into vacated Haworth, and once again filled it well—filled this time not with rocks and minerals but with an odor that keeps all but the sturdiest from its doors.
Escaped Fire
Professor Weaves Cloth To Beat Shortage
The geology department pulled out of Haworth for newer and more spacious quarters in the spring of 45. But that didn't mean any vacation for the building. Anatomy Department Now
Orono, Me.—(UP)—Asst. Prof Edward J. Bogan of the University of Maine chemistry department and his wife weave their own cloth from a home-made loom he built in 1942 to beat the clothing shortage. They have woven 100 yards of suiting, 22 afghans and blankets and five scarves.

Thirty-eight years hence, Haworth will have accrued quite a lengthy history but probably nothing will ever change its belief that the first thirty-eight are the hardest.

100 Students Take Reading-Clinic Tests
Housekeeper's Dream Is Dust, Germ-Proof
Rensselaer, N.Y. (UP)—A housekeeper's dream, a dust-proof, germ-proof building, has been opened here. Engineers who designed it for the Winthrop Chemical company described it as a "scientific utopia."
Four stories high, with glass blocks instead of windows, the 35 isolated laboratories inside the building where medicines are prepared, have their own automatically controlled weather conditions.
Each room has rounded corners, tile walls, flush lights and other means for keeping it spotlessly clean with the least possible effort. Ultraviolet rays flood all ventilating ducts to kill germs.
To make the dust-proofing doubly certain, all employees and visitors on entering the building must pass through chambers with air blowers and suction fans which remove dust and lint from shoes and clothing.
More than 100 persons have taken the University reading clinic's seven preliminary tests, Dr. R. A. Schwegwer, director of the clinic, said today.
They are now being counselled by Joseph V. Holly, clinic counselor, and will be placed in remedial classes to improve their reading habits.
The seven preliminary tests, given under the direction of Richard Kirk patrick, business junior, include reading, reading comprehension, visual, and hearing examinations. One test is a moving picture recording of images taken by cameras. This does faults in reading habits by showing the pauses and regressions the eyes make in reading a page.
Conducted in three or four sessions, the tests take four hours. The personal counseling is done in a half hour period.
No charge is made for the service. Interested students may still apply at the reading clinic in 18, Fraser hall.
Patrolman Reads Bible At Breakfast
Johnstown, Pa.—(UP)—City Patrolman Frank E. Willett has started his 29th cover-to-cover reading of the Bible.
On his 28th trip through the Scriptures, Willett set himself a record in getting from Genesis to Revelations in 66 days. His best previous mark was 103 days.
Willett reads the Bible instead of the morning paper while eating his breakfast. He finds the morning hours best for spiritual enlightenment. While on duty, the veteran of 33 years on Johnstown's police force scans a well-thumbed edition during lull periods at his radio broadcasting station post.
Diphtheria Deaths Down
London.—(UP)—Under a national immunization program begun in 1940, deaths from diptheria in Great Britain have dropped by almost two-thirds. Before the war, diptheria claimed some 3,000 victims a year, and hospital treatment of about 60,000 patients cost more than $4,000,000. Now deaths are down to 1,000 a year.
